Jonathan Sprague, Susan Hawes, Gretchen Schaefer, and Airport Co-Interim Director/Airport Assistant
Director, Evan Thomas and Airport Co-Interim Director/Director Marketing and Business Development
Manager, Aimee Thibodeau.
Agenda and Discussion:
1. Marketin� Update and June stats—Aimee Thibodeau
June was a record month. Load factors are on target and comparable to the 2019 numbers.
Parking, passenger load numbers, and fuel sales are consistent; military traffic is slightly lower.
Weather has been a factor on the east coast resulting in delays and cancellations for many
airports including Bangor.Tourism trends reflect that other cities in Maine show an increase in
travel. Rental car prices are high nation-wide however,the rental car companies at BGR have
increased their inventory and are providing adequate opportunities for rental for our area.
2. New Alle�iant fli�ht to Punta Gorda—Aimee Thibodeau
Flight will start in October and run 2x per week year-round. We are currently collaborating on
marketing strategies to serve BGR and Allegiant.
3. Conference schedule update—Aimee Thibodeau
We have made a couple of changes to the conference/event schedule for FY24; replacing EBACE
with Dubai Air Show—will alternate every other year if Dubai proves to be beneficial.This
includes attending the Dubai Air Show in November,which will provide us a new audience for
FBO traffic. It is held every other year, so the plan is to alternate with EBACE to keep BGR
Aviation and BGR visible to both demographics.
4. UPS contract extension and uqdate on service—Evan Thomas
The UPS contract has been extended from a seasonal operation to a full year operation, ending
July 31, 2023; there is potential to increase their operation at BGR.They are very pleased with
our services. We saw 189 total landing operations equating to 960 tons of mail/package loads.
We have extended our agreement through August 2024.
